It's going to be hard for them, they are at the rank 3 now and with the current standing, they are going to play with the Jazz
with a big man inside that can dominate, and take note, this is a defensive team.
If they are smart, they will slide their ranking at no. 4, still the same they will have the home court advantage but they will play with the Clippers.
Yep, Jazz has a good center who can really man the middle so they are really at a disadvantage if they are going to be match with them in the first round, very very hard to win.
If they deliberately lose some games to slide to 4, maybe they can have a chance against Clippers but I'm sure all their energy will be sap and whoever they face in round 2 will be a great team, thus another bump that it very hard to overcome.
It's even strange for me that OKC is losing in their previous games, and I have a feeling that they are intentionally doing that, I don't know but that's just what my gut says.
